"Tony, where is that Romo?" for some reason I was laughing so hard there.

[@Crushfire24]

lol I believe Parcells was in his ass while he was still just an undrafted kid at that point! Not even a back up but like, the 4th qb on the roster lol

Romo had turned a crappy team to playoff contenders and Like Staubach said the team relied on Romo 99% to where he was destined to make mistakes is Tony a HoF maybe even possibly just because he changed a team when they were kicked onto the groind

still can't believe Crayton dropped that pass I gotta admit Romo made some bad plays in crunch time but he rarely got help from team mates as well in those times

This is the truest statement ever. Thank you. Dude made some bad plays, sure, but he made more good ones than bad and never REALLY had anyone bail him out like so many other qbs do ..... he just never got lucky, really

[@PeterSellers22]

Sure, but everything had gone haywire at that point. The guy (Grammatica) was expecting to be kicking a layup FG, not throwing a block. The fact that he even got a pice of him was very heads uppey.

Also if the K ball wasn't slicked up (the ball was already used and was ruled after the game that it should not have been used)

Tim right? I remember watching that thinking he was going to get it but the kicker pussied out and he got caught from behind. In all honesty Romo shouldn’t have been the holder when he was starting qb.

[@itdoesntmeanathing]

lol my bad but i think everyone knows i meant hall of famer ha.

[@unguidedreaper7763]

Hi Mom no it's not the organizations fault. Romo was playing with the BEST O-line in the NFL. Not to mention a pretty good defense and Jason Witten,TO and Dez Bryant. He has had great teams but couldn't win because he couldn't take that step from good to great.

[@itdoesntmeanathing]

Unguided Reaper their defense has never been pretty good besides 2007 which was Romos first year starting. Nice try.

[@itdoesntmeanathing]

As a matter of fact his defenses have been historically terrible.

Since no one is answering your question... Drew Bledsoe was the starting QB. Romo was the backup/holder. Halfway through the season, he was made the starter but the cowboys for whatever reason never got another holder. So he was it. What hurts the most... Until then, he had never dropped a snap. Time to go drink.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

If Romo played his career with at least an average oline, his cowboy records would be even crazier.

[@40judo]

Romo was a good QB. At his peak, arguably Top 10. Yes, he didn't a SB, and he made some bonehead throws when it mattered most. But it doesn't negate a lot of the good he did. When the Cowboys needed him to throw 50 times a game was when he was at worst. 35 times a game kept the defense honest enough and that was when he was good. Yes, I can give you that he was like Danny White.... but He was also a good QB... but that is for another day...I wish Tony all the luck in his new endeavor.

[@ivancervantes4273]

40judo. I think the 1st coach in the clip traumatized him. That's why he threw the ball

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

At his peak he was an all pro and robbed of an mvp even though playing half the season with two broken bones in his back. That was his final season and only season where he finally didn't have the worst oline. Because in 2015 he only played 3 and a half games and 2016 just 1 series. So at his peak he was top 1, top 2 at minimum.

The worst part is when he finally got an OL and a Defense he was one "No Catch" at GB from the Championship game. The next year is SB almost locked, and he gets hurt in pre season.

I remember when Romo took over for Bledsoe and Tony immediately got a target on his back. He was simultaneously the most talked-about QB and the most hated player in football. The playoff blunder in Seattle, his relationship with Jessica Simpson and the tabloid coverage of him and Witten on vacation before the playoffs all made for reality TV-style hate and gossip. It's funny how only now do people recognize his clutch plays, gunslinger throwing style and especially his oracular commentary as a broadcaster. He was never fully appreciated until after he hung up his cleats.

[@tomknapp6194]

Tony Romo. The greatest Cowboys ever had. Yes, I said greatest. Troy Aikman played with all-world Talent. Keep in mind that after Jimmy Johnson left we seen how far Aikman could carry the teams with out Jimmy Johnson talent built rosters. Even with Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith he couldn't even as so much sniff a Super Bowl. Romo carried teams through years Aikman would not have even lasted on. Period.

[@H.O.34Dr3am]

Let this sink in...Tony Romo only started a hand full of games having a good/great coach in Parcells, under the tutelage of Sean Peyton who has gone on to become an incredible head coach, who also unlocked the greatness of Drew Brees. Then he had: wade Phillips and Garrett. Like this guy, is the only dude I'll ever be an apologist for. An undrafted, non fbs playing football player, makes one of the most prestigious teams in all of sports. Plays behind no noteworthy players, besides bledsoe, beats him, carries the franchise through mediocre coaching. Overcomes early terrible general management decisions like: bad draft picks, underdeveloped players, below average lines, over stacked contracts (Miles Austin), little to no defense. Even with this, he has his team in position to make the playoffs, year in and year out. Performs efficiently, and explosively, has insane 4th quarter qbrs, and comebacks. Destroys his body to win games, breaks ribs, punctures lungs, wears kevlar vests just to get on the field. And when the team finally gets assets around him, some kid from Louisiana comes in and plays palpable football. Just tragic. Life did him dirty, but grand. He'll always be my quarterback, I know he never won a superbowl, played well in the playoffs but never went far, but man his journey really made me love football. The dude is a stud, and my favorite player ever. I was like 4 or 5 when Troy and Emmitt were balling out, Tony Romo is my favorite Cowboy.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Yeah and Payton did want Romo to go to New Orleans with him to be the starter there.
